http://www.rgmbooking.com/home2.htm Hopefully they will remember the north west section of the country although considering previous turn out I find that hard to believe.

Hi Neil, Thanks for the link. Pat wrote me right back and told me that he is trying to get Fairport to play at the Milwaukee Irish Fest.Which would be outstanding since that is about 10 minutes from my house. The last time they were anywhere by me was in 2003 and like you mentioned,I don't think the turn out was that great.They would go over great at Irish Fest. Title: Re: FC U.S. Tour 2009 ?

I failed to mention that he said that this would happen in 2010.Better late than never. :D Title: Re: FC U.S. Tour 2009 ? Post by: Simon Nicol on May 07, 2009, 06:50:52 PM OOPSSS... I failed to mention that he said that this would happen in 2010.Better late than never. :D We all appreciate that we have a warm and appreciative following in the States and all enjoy being in your country. We're hoping that Pat Garrett can put us a tour together in September/October 2010: but it's not easy for him as the logistics of touring the five of us, a noise boy, the instruments and our suitcases needed for a month as well as getting the legal paperwork together are daunting. But if it can be done, it will. Title: Re: FC U.S. Tour 2009 ? Post by: Jo Robinson on May 07, 2009, 07:25:34 PM Thank you, sir. We're keeping our fingers crossed!
Title: Re: FC U.S. Tour 2009 ? Post by: MPinelli on May 07, 2009, 09:44:51 PM 2010? Withdrawal anyone??? My wife is upset!! lol!
Title: Re: FC U.S. Tour 2009 ? Post by: Kurt on May 07, 2009, 09:44:59 PM Outstanding!If you play in Milwaukee and want to save on Room and Board,my house is always open,I'll even buy the 1st case of beer,though that would probably be gone within the hour. ;)

Title: Re: FC U.S. Tour 2009 ? Post by: Pat Helms on May 09, 2009, 08:33:13 PM Hummm.......that sets the gears a turning. Wouldn't it be cool to possibly pick a central location for the eastern / midwest folks on the board to all gather for one gig.
We could pitch in on a hospitality room at a Howard Johnsons and serve Fresca or something. Might be a hoot! Sorry Neil, Oregon is a far piece to do a curve. We'd all have to meet in Telluride to make that work - although I might give it a try! :) Title: Re: FC U.S. Tour 2009 ? Post by: Pat Helms on May 15, 2009, 07:05:20 PM Obviously not a lot of Fresca fans in these parts. :'(
Title: Re: FC U.S. Tour 2009 ? Post by: Kurt on May 16, 2009, 01:52:43 AM Talk about a blast from your past.I haven't had a Fresca in over 30 years... >:(
Title: Re: FC U.S. Tour 2009 ? Post by: Neil on May 16, 2009, 04:12:19 AM Obviously not a lot of Fresca fans in these parts. :'( Maybe the offer of Fresca was just too much for the more timid members ;) Title: Re: FC U.S. Tour 2009 ?

Post by: Pat Helms on May 18, 2009, 10:08:22 PM It's still around if you look hard enough. Last time I had one was in the spring of '84, I believe. Even then it was like "where in the heck has this stuff been over the last 10 years?!"
Jim, it tastes sort of like Tom Collins mixer with a couple baby aspirin dissolved into it. Serves as a nice complement to Thorazine after a long day of shock treatment. ;) [attachment deleted by admin] Title: Re: FC U.S. Tour 2009 ?

Title: Re: FC U.S. Tour 2009 ? Post by: musiclover on May 30, 2009, 02:37:15 PM Fresca is still being made and it now comes in peach flavor, NOW maybe that would be a bit of a tempter!!!
C(", Title: Re: FC U.S. Tour 2009 ? Post by: SteveZuppa on May 30, 2009, 09:05:41 PM Peach Fresca is my wife's absolute favorite soft drink. Alas, it is unavailable any further northeast than Springfield, MA. Doesn't do us much good in Maine. We stock up when we travel and occasionally prevail upon friends to send us some.
